Water Heater Replacement in Ventura, CA

Certain signs may indicate that your water heater needs to be replaced, such as:

• No hot water: A malfunctioning heating element, blown out pilot light, damaged gas valve, or broken thermocouple can limit your hot water supply.
• Strange, high-pitched noises: Scale buildup on heating elements may have reached a level that is damaging to mechanical components. Excessive noise can indicate multiple issues with your water heater.
• Rotten egg odor: As sediment collects inside, it provides a haven for bacteria, which release smelly hydrogen gas as they decay, which is spread throughout your plumbing system.
• Water failing to heat up properly: This can indicate a thermostat problem, but a faulty dip tube, obstructed vent or flue, or sediment/mineral buildup may also disrupt heating.
• Overheated water: If the water is too hot (above 120℉), the thermostat may be set too high, but it can also mean the heating element is defective.
• Dirty water: Rust in the water heater can discolor your water. This can be caused by a deteriorated anode rod; however, rust is often accompanied by small cracks and leaks.
• Water collecting around the tank: Water heater tanks are typically better off replaced than fixed. Your plumber should check the in-line or pressure relief valve, as well as plumbing connections.
• Corrosion or rust on the heater: Corrosion often becomes a problem over time, especially with glass-lined water heater tanks. A technician can tell if your water heater has aged enough that they should recommend replacement.
• Mold buildup: If you see mold, there must be sufficient moisture outside the water heater tank to allow it to grow. Repairing tanks is expensive. It’s often more cost-effective to install a newer, more efficient water heater.
